How can we restore a dropbox folder using java api?

The API currently only offers the ability to restore specific files, and not entire folders, but I'll be sure to pass this along as a feature request.

Hi Greg

Is this still the case? Is there no api for restoring a folder that has been deleted?

@patrikc This is still the case. The Dropbox API still doesn't offer functionality for restoring entire folders.

Is there any update on this? Is it possible to restore folders using the dropbox api? Thanks.

@Hchauhan No, unfortunately there isn't an update on this.

Thanks, Greg. Is there any workaround using api?

@Hchauhan You'd need to use the /2/files/restore endpoint (or corresponding method in an SDK) to restore each file as needed.

Need more support?
